Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro
Performing a Ping Test
The Ping test allows you to check if communications can be
established with a particular remote node. The FrameScope Pro
“pings” a remote node by sending a request message. If the
remote device is active and reachable, it will respond.
Follow these steps to run a Ping test.
1
Press Tools on the Main Menu screen to display the menu of
the available network testing tools.
2
Press Ping to display the Ping screen.
3
Enter the device to ping in the Target box. You can choose to
type in the device name or address.
4
For the Ping options, you either select IP or IPX, type in the
length of the ping in bytes, and set a fixed number of
iterations for the ping or allow it to run continuously.
5
Enter the Time To Live and select whether fragmentation is
allowed in the IP Options panel. Or if IPX is selected, select
either Diagnostic Responder or PING Request in the IPX Request
Type panel.
